History is not a subject in which one can read multiple accounts and harmonize them. It is merely a writers opinion and typically propaganda. Archaeology does not prove anything either as there are many flaws in theories. Pharaoh Djedfra is a great example. Are you aware of how he was thought to have been a murderer and now they found out Augustus destroyed his pyramid, the grandest pyramid in Egypt and that he was a noble ruler? Before we found evidence he was non-existent for over 3000 years.

There is no historigraphical or archaeological evidence to prove you exist nor is there any for the majority of people who have lived.

In order to reconcile the two birth narratives and try to reach a historically sound position, I think a Christian would honestly have to forfeit the sanctity of the canonical Bible. They'd have to evaluate each canonical and apocryphal text based on their own personal judgements or based on experts they trust and understand.
The fact that virtually no Christians that I've met have expressed any concerns whatsoever for this issue is a big part of why I don't take their beliefs very seriously.

@4:41, but I thought Mark didn't include a birth narrative?

@GodAImighty
You're right. I meant to point out that Mark, the first Gospel written, omits his birth story entirely. Seems I got ahead of myself, and yes, the Gnostic series will continue.
